Need a "more aggresive" cartridge
« on: 3 Nov 2008, 03:22 pm »
Jeff;

I need advise from yourself or other experienced folks.

I have a Transfiguration Temper W cartridge on my Kuzma Reference/TriPlanar setup.

The cartridge is very neutral. For my application, I need something with a more aggressive attack. My current set-up is just "too polite".

Any recommendations on cartridges to evaluate? I have put the Dynavector XV1s on the list.

Any other suggestions or comments?

Thanks
Paul

I wouldn't call the Dynavector XV-1s (my current reference) aggressive.

I think if you want that, I'd look at the Lyra Titan...
Also less aggressive than the Lyra but way more than where you are
would be the MoFi 3.5C.  This is a great cartridge in the direction you
are after.

If you buy one from Soundstage direct, you can use the TONEAudio
10% code....

All of the Clearaudio MC carts are a bit on the forward side too...

Let me know what you come up with!

I'd say!

I will look into it and see what the deal is.

Thanks for all your input.

What are you going to do with the Transfiguration?

hadn't thought about that. I assume it will get put back in the box.
